Find Out About Injection Treatments

Our providers are trained in various therapeutic and restorative injections. Here is a list of just some of the injections we offer.

1. Cortisone Injection
2. Trigger Point Injections
3. PRP Injections
4. Stem Cell Injections

A cortisone injection is a mix of numbing medicine and a steroid. The injection is given directly to the area of pain, which is typically a joint. Once the medicine is in the joint, the numbing medication will ease the pain, while the steroid will reduce inflammation, pain, and swelling.

Some patients will get instant relief, while others will get relief in about 3–4 days after the injection. Best practices say that patients are able to have up to 4 injections in a year. But always check with your doctor.

A trigger point injection consists of a numbing medicine and a steroid that is injected into an area of spasm, or “knot.” The difference between dry needling and trigger point injections is that dry needling is used to stimulate the muscles, while trigger point injections have medicine that targets the muscles.

A trigger point injection is similar to a cortisone injection, but the trigger point injection goes directly into the muscle or area of pain, while a cortisone injection goes into the joint.

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) injections are a type of regenerative medicine treatment that involves extracting a small amount of the patient’s own blood, spinning it in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from other components, and then injecting the concentrated plasma back into the affected area. Platelets contain growth factors that stimulate tissue repair and regeneration, making PRP injections a popular option for treating musculoskeletal injuries, arthritis, and other conditions causing pain and inflammation. This non-surgical procedure is believed to accelerate healing, reduce pain, and improve function in the targeted area.

Stem cell injections involve the use of stem cells to promote healing and tissue regeneration in the body. Stem cells are unique in that they have the potential to develop into different types of cells, such as muscle cells, bone cells, or nerve cells. When injected into a specific area of the body, stem cells can help repair damaged tissues, reduce inflammation, and improve overall function. This treatment is commonly used in orthopedic and sports medicine to treat conditions such as arthritis, tendon injuries, and joint pain. Stem cell injections are minimally invasive and have shown promising results in helping patients recover from injuries and improve their quality of life.
